Kiswahili Course

Welcome to ISfAR Kiswahili Learning Center (IKLC)

IKLC offers a variety of Kiswahili (also known as Swahili) language instruction levels i.e. conversational Swahili, beginner, intermediate and advanced, as well as private tutoring and group lessons.

The mode of lesson delivery is either in-class instruction or Live teacher video-linked distance learning.

We also offer Go Abroad pre-departure training, Intercultural Training and trip ideas/insights to students/volunteers/tourists, who are on an overseas exchange or practical international internships.

Go Abroad experience in whatever capacity you interact with the overseas communities.

As a knowledge Centre, we provide applicable cultural insights specific to the foreign country or community that your work/project is focused on. Since language does provide a window into a community’s culture, the Go Abroad cultural preparation does include basic language skills relevant to that culture.
